Daewoo Excessive Condensation / Ventilation Issue

Microwave interior is wet with condensation after use, and moisture collects on the door

Possible Causes

Blocked exhaust vents, High humidity cooking (e.g., boiling water) without adequate ventilation, Faulty cavity fan, Poor door seal

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the microwave before cleaning vents.

Step-by-step checks:

  • 1. Wipe interior: After cooking, wipe down the cavity and door to remove moisture.
  • 2. Check vents: Ensure that external vents are not blocked and that any built-in installation follows Daewoo's ventilation guidelines.
  • 3. Listen for fan: Confirm that the fan runs during cooking. If not, the fan motor may be faulty.
  • 4. Inspect door seal: Check the door gasket and viewing window area for gaps or damage that could allow steam to escape improperly.

Note: Some condensation is normal, especially with high-moisture foods, but persistent heavy moisture may indicate a ventilation problem.
